Vehicle model
Peugeot 206
The Peugeot 206 is a B-segment city car produced from 1998 to 2012. It became the best-selling French car in history, with more than eight million units sold thanks to its many variants: 3- and 5-door sedans, the 206 CC coupe-cabriolet, the 206 SW wagon, and the 206+ that extended its career. Succeeding the 205, it won buyers over with its rounded styling, roominess, and value for money. A sporty 206 RC/GTI 180 version rounded out the range. In North America, the 206 was never officially marketed. For an example on the road in Quebec, the key points are its small wheels (generally 14 to 16 inches) and the importance of winter tires in the exact original size.

Les Peugeot vendues en Europe couvrent surtout les segments des citadines et compactes : les petites comme les 205, 206 et 208 utilisent généralement des jantes de petit diamètre (typiquement autour de 14 à 17 pouces selon la finition), tandis que les compactes et SUV comme la 308 et le 3008 montent souvent des roues plus grandes (jusqu'à 18-20 pouces sur les versions hautes). L'entraxe est habituellement à 4 trous sur les modèles plus anciens et à 5 trous sur les modèles récents et SUV. Pour un véhicule circulant au Québec, les pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires et essentiels; il faut vérifier la dimension exacte inscrite sur le flanc et la plaque constructeur avant de choisir pneus et jantes.
